Now that I have received some of the credits for the wu's done, I see that my quads are getting longer units and proportionate credit while the older computers are getting also longer wu's, but about 1/2 the credit due. I wonder if your computer is paired with a CUDA will you get less credit since the latter is so much faster? It seems that way.

Word of caution when considering upgrading CUDA drivers. There are problems running GPUGRID work units with the new version NVidia drivers under Windows XP (32-bit). Works fine for 64-bit.

I have run GPUGrid under 32-bit XP SP3 with the 190.38 drivers: no problems at all. There are problems with Linux drivers, apparently (no personal experience of that) but this 32-bit Windows 'issue' sounds like a myth here.


No myth, all mine failed after the "upgrade" to 190.38. Seti goes like a rocket now using cuda 2.3 DLL's. It would appear to be related to the chip on your graphics card. The G92's work. The G200's fail.

I have a mixture of both. 4 machines have GTS250's (G92 chip) and they work fine. 1 machine has dual GTX260's (G200 chip) and they all fail. Nothing overclocked. It doesn't seem to effect the Seti app, which got a significant performance increase from the cuda 2.3 DLL's.

Just so everyone knows this is True. The Enhanced Workunits have Arrived.
....
He also comfirmed that as the New workunits require twice FLOPS that more credit will be granted.
.....


I should have checked these forums before disassembling my computer looking for a hardware problem to explain why these things were running twice as long. I assumed longer processing time meant a hardware problem was causing my computer to run slower. I almost went out to buy new parts!
